Minecraft – How do we play multiplayer minecraft on iPads

iosminecraft-bedrock-edition

We have two iPads, and both of them have Minecraft PE. My son wants to connect the two and play with me. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing here, so I do not know how to do this.

One game says "Broadcast to LAN", and the other one says "Local Server Multiplayer". I have switched both to on.

What do I need to do to be able to play joined? We are both on the same WiFi.

Best Answer

Ensure :

  • You need to have Minecraft with the same version
  • You need to have the iPad connected to the same Wi-Fi
  • You need to have Broadcast to LAN turned on

Initiating

  1. Load up your world on one of your iPad and turn Broadcast to Lan on
  2. On the other iPad, click play and you should see the World name in the very bottom of the world selection menu including the hosting iPad IP. Click it to join
